I tried the copy I had on a USB drive and my backup copy and got the same thing all over again. Grr. On a moment&#8217;s reflection, though, it occurred to me that since SPSS had opened the file and there was just a problem with how the file had been saved &#8211; something was missing that identified the end of file, I am guessing &#8211; that perhaps it could be fixed by simply saving the file as something else and reading it back in. So &#8230; I saved the file as .csv, by just selecting SAVE AS from the FILE menu and selecting csv as the type. Then, I went to FILE and selected READ TEXT DATA,\u00a0 opened the .csv file, accepted all of the defaults and was back in business to merrily analyze away. &#8212; all before I boarded my flight. Pretty productive considering that all of the coffee in Columbia could not make me a morning person.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, this morning started out annoying, and not just because I had to be at LAX at 8 a.m. I am sitting here trying to analyze an SPSS file someone sent me last night and I get this &#8230; Command: CORRELATIONS Incomplete (truncated) SPSS Statistics data file: \/Users\/annmaria\/blahblah.sav Execution of this command stops.
